Just finished 2 very good rounds with Giacomo.I helped him get his rounds in.Giacomo started a little slow but made up for it with some nice eagle shots.We were tied going into the 17th hole when I birdied it and Giacomo bogied.That was the match because we both eagled the last hole.In the 2nd game Giacomo caught fire going down the the end while I fell apart.He got me by 1 stroke.Great games Giacomo.If we apply the old man rule Giacomo killed me today.Here are the scores:
1st Game:
Giacomo: 56 ( 1st round ) Wingnut: 54 ( fun round )
2nd Game:
Giacomo: 55 ( 2nd round ) Wingnut: 56 ( fun round )

Thanks, Wingnut, for the help, the games, and the compliment. A clarification: I reported Wingnut having a 55 on the second round because we had an inadvertent dconn in the second round that led to having to play the first 2 holes over. Wingnut aced the second hole in the replay, which counts by EA rules, but doesn't by DGA rules. Hence, his score for the complete round was 55, but since, for the DGA, he takes the original count on the second hole, he reports a 56. I am pleased to report not only a high level of quality in my opponent's play, but also impressive integrity!
My score did not change, since I had the same counts in both the original and the replay of the second round for the first two holes.

Just finished two rounds with Capin. Round 1: Capin 59 For Fun*: Giacomo 75 Round 2: Capin 63 For Fun*: Giacomo 62
No comment on Capin, this was the worst two rounds of my experience with TW09. Capin's great- love to play you again, Buddy! But EA has lost it entirely. Round 1, we almost couldn't launch. Burnsy tried to join us, and that never happened. Sorry, Burnsy! I'm not sure if Capin and I had weak signals, or what the problem was. I was trying to get Burnsy to see if he could launch, but he wasn't logged into chat. Eventually Capin was able to get us started. And that's when the fun began.
I picked my Giacomo profile, and went to the first tee. Only it wasn't me. It was User1. Apparently EA misread my input and gave me a generic character. With no improvements- fresh out of the box. Couldn't even hit the fairways from the black tees. Wound up in the rough most of the time. Long par 4s and par 5s weren't reachable in regulation. Believe me when I say that a 75 wasn't a bad round under the circumstances.
Then we started the second round. I was encouraged- had my own character this time. But the game wasn't ready to have me play. Did I say that EA played my game last night? Tonight was even worse. I had no sense that the ball ever traveled where and how I hit it. There seemed to be a predestined path for every stroke. And few went in the hole. The only hole out in two rounds was a hole in one on the 17th that was designed not to make up for all the shorted putts, but to make sure that the match was decided on the 18th hole. I know I saw putts that Capin missed that had to have been EA interventions. And I know that when the putt preview shows a 52% putt going in and it stops short by 5 inches that it isn't my putting that caused the miss. On the very next hole the meter showed a 55% putt going in. I hit it 67%. It stopped 5 inches short. All I can say is, I'm glad my rounds were for "fun."

Just had round one with kkrambo. Enjoyed it allot. We had a close front 9 with me pulling ahead by 1 on the 9th. I felt bad about the back as the AHO gods were watching over me. I had 5 eagles on the back and only 2 were from putts (4 in a row). : (
kkrambo 3 3 3 3 4 3 3 2 5 29 4 2 3 3 3 3 4 2 4 28 = 57 (good round)
Putterrr 4 2 3 3 4 3 3 2 4 28 3 1 2 3 2 3 4 3 3 24 = 52 (bit lucky I'd say)
kkrambo had to go so we didn't get the second round in.
Thx for the game.

I confirm: Putterrr 52, kkrambo 57. Putterrr drives the ball a long way. That was the first I've played since the season two tourny. Sorry I couldn't continue.

Hi, Just played a round with Neil, Putterr, and Claud. Talk about getting caught with you pants down or I should say with a skirt on. Had to use Wifeys toon. She had played some pga tourneys after I went to exercise this morning and didn't tell me. Needless to say our two characters play very much differently. Almost wished I had grabbed super tiger, oh well enjoyed the game and challenge. Putterr: 50 Buck: 67 Claud: 59 Neil: 57

Putterrr: 50 (Fun) BuckRgrs: 67 (Fun) ClaudeRuff: 59 (Fun) Neil29679: 57 (2nd Rd.)
I went into chat and was sucked in. This is a great place to find a game. First time with Buck and Neil. Buck had to play in a skirt, now he knows how Putterrr feels. I kid, I kid. Putterrr was awesome, he had two aces on the back nine. I'm going back to the club tuner, something is wrong.
*Edit* Forgot to say great game, thanks Putterrr, Buck, Neil. See you on the links.
